TRI-CUBE MERV 13
Tri-Dim’s innovative TRI-CUBE MERV 13 filter offers high efficiency and
LEED points with all the features and benefits of the conventional TRI-CUBE
filters.
DEPTH LOADING MEDIA - TRI-DEK® media utilizes
different layers or deniers of media arranged from
coarsest to finest to create a depth loading
arrangement. The media is a unique needle-felted
electrostatic blended synthetic. Larger particles are
captured on the air entering side of the media and as
the air works its way through the media finer particles
are removed. This approach maximizes filter life
especially when compared to pleated filters that utilize
the ‘strainer‘ method of filtration. Media contains 11%
Post-Consumer recycled content.
AIRFLOW
EXTENDED SURFACE AREA - The TRI-CUBE MERV 13 filter offers
extended surface area in a unique trapezoid shape to maximize performance.
The benefits of more surface area are a longer filter service life and a lower
operating resistance (pressure drop). These will help you achieve lower
energy cost, reduced filter related cost, higher efficiency, cleaner air handler
surfaces, and reduced landfill waste - and these can help you achieve
additional LEED credits.

SELF GASKETING - The TRI-
CUBE filters use an integral wire
support that is heat sealed into the
media - this in turn creates the selfgasketing
perimeter edge. The selfgasketing
eliminates the bypass of
contaminated unfiltered air around
the filter. This perimeter edge
allows for a ‘friction’ fit that
eliminates the need for cumbersome
holding clips in some applications.
Self-Gasketing
No Bypass
MOLD/MOISTURE RESISTANT - TRI-DEK media is resistant to moisture and
microbial growth – much more so than traditional cardboard framed filters.
Cardboard framed filters inherently hold moisture regardless of what
protective coatings are used. This means the frame will eventually deteriorate
and can blow out of the air handler. The presence of moisture is also one of
the key components for the growth of microbials.
Microbial growth in an HVAC system can have a detrimental affect on the
health of the building occupants. Microbial growth can increase allergy and
asthma attacks and depending upon the specific microbial can cause
illnesses - including those that are severe. TRI-CUBE filters use no cardboard
or other materials that hold moisture – in-fact synthetic media and a
galvanized internal wire support frame are the only materials utilized.
LEED CREDITS
1 Point
Indoor Environmental
Quality - IEQ Credit 1.4:
IAQ Best Management
Practices: Reduce
Particulates in Air
Distribution
Requirement - Have in
place filtration media with
a minimum efficiency
reporting value (MERV)
greater than or equal to
13 for all outside air
intakes and inside air
recirculation returns
during the performance
period. Establish and
follow a regular schedule
for maintenance and
replacement of these
filters according to the
manufacturer’s
recommended interval.
Additional LEED Credits
may exist.
